While currently available texts dealing with the subject of high perfor mance composite materials touch upon a spectra of topics such as mechanical metallurgy, physical metallurgy, micromechanics and macro mechanics of such systems, it is the specific purpose of this text to examine elements of the mechanics of structural components composed of composite materials. This text is intended for use in training engineers in this new technology and rational thought processes necessary to develop a better understanding of the behavior of such material systems for use as structural components. The concepts are further exploited in terms of the structural format ... Read more

Reviews for The behavior of structures composed of composite materials
`The book is very well written and well illustrated as well. There are exercises at the end of each chapter which should enhance the book's usefulness as a course text. This book is distinguished from other general books in the field in that it has in-depth coverage of these topics: sandwich plates with composite-material facings; ... Read more
